HP made a CRT monitor that had IR emitters and sensors aimed vertically and 
horizontally. They had to be mounted pretty far forward to clear the curve of 
the tube and resolution was very low. Software using it was limited to having 
its active spots at the intersections of the emitter and sensor pairs lines of 
sight.
 
They were crazy expensive in the 1980's, should be crazy cheap to build your 
own now.

 I've been thinking about how to implement a touch screen of sorts on a 19"
monitor. The TFT displays are too expensive for their size.

Then I came across this;

Very interesting, and with more scanners and LED's it could be very usable!
Next is to explore how easy it is to drive them.
